The Earth's population is approximately 8.2 billion people in 2025, having surpassed 8 billion in late 2022. This figure is an estimate, as different organizations like the United Nations and the U.S. Census Bureau use slightly different methods and data. World population growth has slowed significantly, with current annual growth around 0.85%, and the population is projected to continue growing until the mid-2080s.

Sources and Data Uncertainty 

• Estimates:

  Figures from organizations like the UN, U.S. Census Bureau, and other sources like Worldometer are estimates because not all countries have up-to-date census data or robust civil registration systems to accurately track births and deaths.
• Discrepancies:

  Minor differences in population figures between various sources are normal due to different methodologies and data collection.

Milestone: The world population reached 8 billion in November 2022. 

Growth Rate: The current annual growth rate is approximately 0.85%. 

Historic Growth: The population went from 1 billion in 1800 to 8 billion in roughly 222 years, but it is now taking about 15 years to add the next billion. 

Increasing Concentration: Population growth is becoming more concentrated in the world's poorest countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, which have higher fertility rates. 

Future Projections: The United Nations projects the world population will peak at around 10.3 billion in the 2080s.
